The Tethered Aerostat Radar System 



(TARS) program operates and maintains 

a series of airborne radar platforms and 

associated infrastructure and 

communications. The radar equipment is 

housed in tethered aerostats, which look 

similar to a blimp but are raised and 

lowered by tether to adjust to weather 

conditions and for maintenance. TARS 

provides persistent, long-range detection 

and monitoring (radar surveillance) 

capability for interdicting low-level air, 

maritime and surface smugglers and 

narcotics traffickers along the United 

States-Mexico border, the Florida Straits, 

and a portion of the Caribbean. The 

TARS program provides surveillance 

data to the Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) Office of Air and Marine 

(OAM) Operations Center (AMOC) in 

California and the Caribbean. As a 

secondary mission, TARS supports the 

USNORTHCOM and USSOUTHCOM air 

surveillance missions. 

 

 



 

 

 



 

 

 



 

 

In addition, TARS surveillance data also 



supports the North American Aerospace 

Defense Command (NORAD) air 

sovereignty mission for the continental 

United States. 

Operational locations are in Arizona, 

New Mexico, Texas, the Florida Keys

and Puerto Rico with support locations in 

Newport News, Virginia, and El Paso, 

Texas.
